For those who are grasping that Miers was supporting a "conservative al gore", this contribution came right around election day when Dukakis was already nominated.
It would have been an anti-Reagan contribution for the most part...Bush was the Reagan legacy at that time and perceived to be quite conservative.
Texas at the time, like all southern states was a one-party system. Maybe her donation to Al Gore was more for business purposes than for political beliefs. That's how democrats operate, after all, donate to us or you are our enemy.
Total speculation. I mean TOTAL.
BINGO!
Yeah, this lady is a REAL Conservative...she was donating RIGHT BEFORE ELECTION DAY to the DNC!!!
Given Dukakis' positions (Pro-abortion, anti-second ammendment)...does ANYONE think that she was donating to someone she was philosophically OPPOSED to?!
And when the Political winds changed in Texas...she weathervaned right along with them (Good sound principles there...how does GWB justify her work AGAINST his father and the (R)'s?) and in all likelyhood kept her previous "Principles" in tact, because the (R)'s decided to go with a "Big Tent" strategy...which just allowed the enemy to work from within to destroy the Base!
But I'm sure that the BushBot Kool-Aid crowd will be along soon to pooh-pooh this info, and pass out warm glasses of Pi$$ and tell us it's Republican Strategerey Lemonaide!
